Money Venture Posted March 22, 2014 #1 Posted March 22, 2014 I have had an XS11 for 8 years and just purchased my 87 recently. I see some of the names look familiar from the other site. Could it be coincidence or am I late to the party? Nice to get to know everyone.
Peder_y2k Posted March 22, 2014 #2 Posted March 22, 2014 I had a 1979 XS1100 for years, then switched to the Venture and never looked back. Oh, and you are late to the party, but better late than never. -Pete, in Tacoma WA USA
84xj1100 Posted March 22, 2014 #3 Posted March 22, 2014 would an xj count??? I've owned an xj1100 for more than 25 years....it was the successor to the xs1100
Bert2006 Posted March 22, 2014 #4 Posted March 22, 2014 XS1100 was my first bike in 81. Had it for 2 years before I got a Venture. Was a great learning machine for me.
danburywildman Posted March 22, 2014 #5 Posted March 22, 2014 ! bought a XJ1100 new in 82. still got it but its kinda wore ouy. 100,000 plus miles
Esjr1642 Posted March 22, 2014 #6 Posted March 22, 2014 I still have the 79F that my dad bought off the showroom floor. And yes, a member of XS11.com as well.
steve crossley Posted March 22, 2014 #7 Posted March 22, 2014 had a 79 xs1100f about 5 years . sold it , still see it around . great ol, bike.

mm482 Posted March 23, 2014 #9 Posted March 23, 2014 I bought a new 81 XS11 and I sould it in 1990 and bought it back two years later. It needs a lot of work to get it back on the road. I am a member of the XS11.com and have been to the last two SE Rallies at the Iron Horse and the E Rally in Bridgeport WV. Earl
dingy Posted March 23, 2014 #10 Posted March 23, 2014 (edited) I had an 81 XS1100, sold it when I bought my 1st 84 Venture. I thought I would end up doing bodily harm to myself with the XS. The Venture seemed a little tamer. Now I have a Venture that is equal to XS1100 performance, but I feel more comfortable with it. Gary Edited March 23, 2014 by dingy
